Hi Friends,

I have implemented XPACK. Earlier I am using IP sentry to monitor the health of elasticsearch, so we can give health check link if it is accessible or not. After installation of XPACK I am not able to access the same. Is it passible to give password with some parameter with "-u" as it is possible in curl command line browser?

i.e.  
curl -u elastic:password [https://node1.elastic.com:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty=true](https://node1.elastic.com:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true)

In short, Is it possible to open health link in firefox or chrome browser with "-u" parameter or any other way to perform the same?
